The Great Angling 
Road of America 

Fishing and Hunting— Along the entire line 
of the UNION PACIFIC may be found 
some of the best fishing waters of America, and 
the Angler— the rod or hand-line fisherman^ — will 
find many varieties of the most game of American 
fishes; the Trouts, Black-spotted, Red-spotted, the 
Rainbow, the Dolly Varden and the Salmon trout. 

We can name only a few of the many choice fishing locali- 
ties, including- those where the Pike and the Black Basses 
may be found: 

COLUMBUS, NEB.— Pike and Black Bass. ■ 
WARNERVILLEr^f^^EB.— Pike and Black Bass. 
NORTH LOUP, NEB.— "Wall-eyed Pike, White Perch, etc. 
WATERLOO, NEB.— Black Bass and Pike. 
BEAVER BROOK, "COL.— Colorado and Red-spotted Trout. 
BOULDER, COL.— Black-spotted, or Rocky Mountain Trout. 
BRECKENRIDGE, COL.— Black-spotted, or Rocky Mountain Trout. 
ESTES PARK, COL.— (Reached via LongmontXBlack-spotted, or«JRocky 

Mountain Trout. 
BUENA VISTA, COL.— Numhers Qf Lakes containing Trout. 
DILLON, COL.— Colorado, or Black-spotted Trout. 
LARAMIE, WYO.— Black-spotted, or Rocky Mountain oTrout. 
BEAVER CANON, lEjAHO— Mountain Trout and River Whitefish. 
IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO— Mountain Trout and River Whitefish. 
McCAMMON, IDAHO— Salmon Troutfand Brook Trout. 
SHOSHONE, IDAHO— Two Dspecies of Trout. 
HAILEY, IDAHO— Two species of Trout. 
RED ROCK, MONT.— Salmon and Brook Trout. 
LIMA, MONT.— Trout and River Whitefish. 

In all the above localities the fishing ris excellent — in many 
places, grand — and the field sportsman will find abundant use 
for his gun on game of all kinds — furred or feathered.

^ 



RULES FOR INANIMATE TARGET SHOOTING. 

Rule 1. Judges and Beferee.—Two judges and a referee, or a referee 
alone, shall be selected by the management, or the contestants, whose de- 
cision shall be final. 

Rule 2. Duties of the Referee.— The referee shall see that the traps are 
properly set at the beginning of the match and kept in order to the finish. 
He shall endeavor to make the targets conform to the flight and direction in- 
dicated in Rule No. 7. He shall test any trap upon application of the shooter 
at any time by throwing a trial target therefrom. He may at any time, and 
must when so requested by a contestant, select one or more cartridges from 
those of a shooter at the score, and publicly test the same for proper load- 
ing. If the cartridge, or cartridges, are found to be improperly loaded, the 
shooter shall suffer the penalty as provided for in Rule 11. 

Rule 3. Scorer— A scorer shall be appointed by the management, whose 
score shall be the official one. All scoring shall be done with ink, or in- 
delible pencil. The scoring of a lost target shall be indicated by a "0," and 
a broken target by the figure "1." 

Rule i. Puller.— A puller, or pullers, shall be appointed by the manage- 
ment, whose duty it shall be to see that the trap or traps shall be instantly 
sprung when the shooter calls "Pull," and shall be placed in such a position 
that the shooter will liave no means of knowing by his actions which trap is 
to be pulled. In single target shooting he shall pull the traps as decided by 
a trap-pulling indicator, or other means that may have been provided by the 
management, so that the shooter will have no means of knowing which trap 
the target is to be thrown from. 

Rule 5. Pulling the Traps.— Section 1. Traps may be pulled in regu- 
lar order from 1 to 3, or 1 to 5, or vice versa, if so decided by the management. 

Sec. 2. If the shooting is from traps to be palled in regular order, the 
shooter may refuse the target from the trap not so pulled; but if he shoots, 
the result must be scored. 

Sec. 3. If the trap is sprung before, or at any noticeable interval after 
the shooter calls "Pull," he can accept or refuse the target; but if he shoots, 
the result must be scored. 

Sec. 4. If the puller, or pullers, do not pull in accordance to the indica- 
tor, or other means provided, they shall be removed and others substituted. 

Rule 6. Arrangement of Traps.— All matches shall be shot from three 
to five traps, set level, three or five yards apart, in the segment of a circle 
(see Diagrams A and B), or in a straight line (see Diagram C). When in the 
segment of a circle, the radius of the circle shall be eighteen yards. In all 
cases the shooter's position shall not be less from each trap than the rises 
provided for in Rule 7. The traps shall be numbered from 1, on the left, to 
No. 3 or No. 5, on the right, consecutively, according to the number used, as 
shown in the diagram. 

Rule 7. Adjusting Trap.s.— Section 1. All traps must be adjusted to 
throw the targets a distance not less than 40 yards, nor more than 60 yards. 
If any trap be found too weak to throw the required distance, a new trap or 
spring that will, must be substituted. 

Sec. 2. The lever or projecting arm of the trap shall be so adjusted that 
the elevation of the target in its flight at a distance of 10 yards from the trap 



4 TRAP SHOOTmO RULES. 

shall not be more than 12 feet, nor less than 6 feet, and the angles of flight 
shall he as follows: 

If three traps are used (see Diagram A): No. 1 trap shall be set to 
throw a left quartering target. No. 2 trap shall be set to throw a straight- 
away target. No. 3 trap shall be set to throw a right quartering target. 

If five traps are used (see Diagrams B and C) : No. 1 trap shall be set to 
throw a right quartering target. No. 2 trap shall be set to throw a left 
quartering target. No. 3 trap shall be set to throw a straightaway target. 
No. 4 trap shall be set to throw a right 'quartering target. No. 5 trap shall 
be set to throw a left quartering target.

this point across traps 2 and 4 will give the proper direction of flight. The birds 
from traps 1 and 5 should cross the line of fligiit of the straightaway bird not more 
than twenty nor less than ten yards from trap No. 3. 



TRAP SSOOT^mO RULES. 1

flight shall cross that of the straight-away target at a point not less than 10 
yards nor more than 20 yards from trap No. 3. 

Sec. 3. After the traps are set for these angles, if the target for any reason 
shall take a different course it shall he considered a fair target, provided the 
trap has not been changed. 

Rule 8. Screens — Either pits or screens, or both, may be used, but the 
screens must not be higher than is actually necessary to fully protect the 
trapper. 

Rule 9. The Rise.— In single target shooting the rise shall be : 
18 yards for 10-bore guns. 
16 yards for 12-bore gunS;

Rule 10. Caliber and Weight of Guns.— No gun of larger caliber than 
10-bore shall be used, and the weight of all guns shall be unlimited. 

Rule 11. l/oads— Charge of powder unlimited. Charge of shot not to 
exceed one and one-quarter ounces American Association, or Dixon's 
measure, struck. Any shooter using a larger quantity of shot shall forfeit 
his entrance money and rights in the match. 

Note — If in the opinion of the management, with the unanimous consent of 
the contestants, a shooter has not wilfully violated this rule,, his entrance money 
shall be returned to him. 

Rule 12. Loading Guns.— In single target shooting, only one barrel 
shall be loaded at a time, and the cartridge shall not be placed in the barrel 
until after the shooter has taken his position at the score. In double target 
shooting, both barrels shall be loaded at the score. Cartridges must be 
removed from the gun before leaving the score. 

Rule 13. Position of Gun —Any the shooter may adopt. 

Rule 14. Single Target Shooting.— When the traps are set in the 
segment of a circle, each contestant shall shoot at three or more targets 
before leaving the score. If two targets are sprung at the same time, and 
contestant does not shoot, it shall be declared "No targets;" but if he 
shoots, the result must be scored. 

Rule lb.— Double Target Shooting.— Both traps must be pulled simultane- 
ously, and each contestant shall shoot at three or five pairs, consecutively, 
thrown as follows: If three traps are used, the first pair shall be thrown 
from 1 and 2, the second pair from 8 and 3, the third pair from 1 and 3, the 
fourth pair from 1 and 2, and the fifth pair from 2 and 3. 

If five traps are used, the first pair shall be thrown from 2 and 3, the 
second pair from 3 and 4, the third pair from 2 and 4, the fourth pair from 2 
and 3, and the fifth pair from 3 and 4. 

If only one target is thrown, it shall be declared "No targets." 

If a target be lost for reasons stated in Rule 19, Section i, it shall be 
declared "No targets." If one be a fair and the other an imperfect target, 
it shall be declared "No targets." But if the shooter accepts an impei-fect 
target, or targets, the result must be scored. 

If both targets are broken by one barrel, it shall be declared "No targets. " 
If the shooter fires both barrels at one target intentionally, it shall be scored 
"Lost targets." But if the second barrel be discharged accidentally, it shall 
be "No targets." 

Rule W.— Rapid Firing System.— When the traps are set in a straight 
line and the rapid firing system is to be used, there shall be a screen before 
each trap on which shall appear the number of the trap, from No. 1 on the 



§ TRAP SHOOTING RULES. 

left, and each shooter shall stand at score opposite the trap from which the 
target is to be thrown for him to shoot at. After he has shot at the first 
target he shall pass to the next score to the right, and so continue until he 
reaches the end of the score, when he shall return to the score opposite No. 
1, and continue as before until his score is finished. If shooters are annoyed, 
or there is delay in shooting by the smoke of previous shots, the traps may 
be pulled in reverse order, commencing with the trap on the right. 

Rule 17. Class Shooting.— All shooting shall be class shooting, unless 
otherwise stated by the management.

provided for in Rule 19; but if ne shoots, the result must be scored. 

Rule 19. Allowing Another Target— Section 1. The shooter shall be 
allowed another target for the following reasons: 
A— For a target broken by the trap. 

B— For any defect in the gun, or load, causing a miss-fire. 
C— If the contestant is interfered with, or balked, or there is other 

similar reason why it should be done, the referee may allow another 

target. 

Sec. 2. When the shooting is at known angles he shall have another 
target from the same trap; but if the shooting is at unknown angles he shall 
have another target from an unknown trap, to be decided by the indicator, 
except it be the last trap, when the shooter has the right to know which trap 
is to be sprung. In this case he shall have another target from the same trap. 

NoTB. — When a shooter in breaking- his gun to put in the shells fails to break 
it far enough to cock the gun, it is considered his own carelessness, and not suffi- 
cient excuse for the allowance of another target.

to load, cock, adjust safety on gun, or pulls the wrong trigger. 

Rule 21. Tie Shooting.— Sectioj^ 1. All ties shall be shot off at the 
original distance, and as soon after the match as practicable, at the follow-

Ties on DouJjle Targets.— In double target matches of 10 pairs, or less, on 
three traps, 3, pairs. In matches of more than 10 pairs, 5 pairs, thrown from 
traps 1 and 3. If five traps are used, the same number shall be thro\^n in 
each case, from traps 2 and 4 (unless otherwise arranged by the manage- 
ment, and so stated or understood previous to the beginning of the match). 

Sec. 2. If in a series of matches the result prove a tie, such tie shall be 
shot off at the original number of targets. 

Rule 22. Announcing the Scoj^e.— Section 1. When two judges and a 
referee are serving, one of the judges shall announce the result of each shot 
distinctly, and it shall be called back by the scorer. 

(The call for a broken target shall be "Broke," and the call for a missed 
target shall be "Lost.") 

If the second judge disagrees with the decision of the judge calling, he 
shall announce it at once before another target is thrown, and the referee 
shall decide it. In case of another target being thrown before the referee's 
decision, the target so thrown shall be "No target." 

Sec. 2. At the close of each shooter's score the result must be announced. 
If claimed to be wrong, the error, if any, must be corrected at once.

Rule 4. Puller.— A puller shall be appointed by the contestants, or man- 
agement, and shall be placed at least 6 feet behind the shooter, and it shall 
be his duty to pull the traps evenly and fairly for each contestant, and in- 
stantly after the shooter calls "Pull." He must use a trap-pulling indicator, 
or other device that may be furnished by the management, so that the shooter 
will not know which trap is to be pulled. All traps must be filled before the 
shooter calls '"pull." 

If more than one bird is liberated, the shooter may call "No bird;" but 
if he shoots, the result may be scored. Should the puller not pull in accord- 
ance with the indicator, he should be removed and another puller substituted. 

Rules. Arrangement of Traps.— All matches shall be shot from five 
ground traps, placed 5 yards apart, in the segment of a circle. The radius of 
the circle shall be 30 yards from the shooter's score. The traps shall be 
numbered from No. 1 on the left to No. 5 on the right, consecutively (see 
Diagram D.).

30 yards for 10- bore guns. 
28 yards for 12-bore guns. 
26 yards for 14 and 16-bore guns.

Role 7. Boundiry.— The boundary for both single and double bird 
shooting shall be the segment of a 50 yards circle, and a dead line. The cir- 
cle shall be drawn from a point 10 yards beyond ihe center trap on a line from 
the shooter's score, and it shall terminate where it joins the dead line, which 
shall be drawn at a distance of 30 yards from the center trap, and at right 
angles with a line drawn from the shooter's score to the center trap (see Dia- 
gram D). 

Rule 8. Birds Refusing to Fly.— When a bird refuses to fly, such arti- 
ficial means as have been provided by the management may be used to start 
it, by direction of the referee. A bird hit by a missile shall be declared "No 
Bird." The shooter may declare a bird refusing to fly when the trap is 
pulled, "No Bird." 

Rule 9. Gathering Birds.— A bird to be scored dead must be gathered 
within bounds before another bird is shot at, and within three minutes' time, 
by a dog or shooter, or person appointed by the shooter for that purpose. No 
extraneous means shall de used, and no other person shall be allowed to 
assist in gathering. If the gatherer cannot locate the bird, he may appeal to 
the referee to locate it for him. All birds challenged must show flesh-shot 
marks, to be scored "Dead Birds." 

RULE 10. Birda Killed rni the Gfrownd— A bird killed on the ground with
